What are fund designations?

« Go Back

 
A:
Fund Designations is a feature that you can use to allow donors to designate their donation to a specific fund, program, or project that falls within your organization or overall mission. For example, say your organization's mission is to help puppies find their forever homes; you might offer fund designations such as "Building Fund" (to assist with building temporary shelters), "Food Fund" (to assist with feeding the puppies while they are being sheltered), and "Vet Care" (to assist with any vet bills the puppies may incur while being sheltered). Below is an example of what this would look like on your donation page with us (the fund designation field selection is circled in red):

You can choose the names of your various funds. However, if you do not select "require donors to select a designation", then the default value for this field will read "Wherever it is most useful" and your reports will show that the donor gave to the campaign in general. The label for the field will always be "Apply My Donation To". This cannot be changed.

If you select the option "require donors to select a designation", the option "Wherever it is most useful" will not appear, and the donor will need to select a designation before continuing to Step 2 of the payment process.

Note: Fund designations can be "deselected" (hidden from the campaign page) and edited, but they cannot be deleted. There is a limit of 10 designations per campaign page. Designations will appear in the dropdown menu in alphanumeric order.
